Let's see your data usage

[anon8380037]

Oops @dpham00 your the guy that just posted again.

Sorry it was you I was misquoting from memory thinking you said 7gb in 8 mins, when you actually said 8gb in 15 minutes. Unless I saw the other claim elsewhere. You have proved it is possible though.

@ Almeuit - Sorry and regards to you both. Tony.

If I posted it then it was a typo. It should have been 8gb in 30 minutes. 8gb in 15 minutes is possible but I haven't achieved it.

Wow! from London.

I thought in the past, say early noughties, the US was technically behind us here with regard to phones and primarily networks (due to regulations or something - no offence .

This is a real eye opener.
Almeuit: 53 gb a month and you have been surpassed several times. Another did 7 gb in 8 minutes or something close.

Needless to say here I think it's different, as another UK poster attested.

I have just switched from a GS2 to a purchased N3 and have 5 months left on cheap ?10 a month plan which includes 500mb, but I can call each month and pay ?5 per 500mb bundle. So currently I'm using a high(!) 1.5 gb limit for safety.


3 thoughts:

1. How many hours do you heavy use guys spend watching the screen, when not downloading?

2. How much Data and Wifi is circulating through your brains everyday. There have been on and off health scares about this.
(Impressive network supply though!)

3. Do you have smoke coming out of your device? I reckon at that rate if the device fails after 3 months you will have got your money's worth and have nothing to complain about so just buy another one.

To the guy tethering his phone for everybody at a gigantic rate and still complaining about Verizon, (they may warrant it - I don?t know), the network police over here would have 3 swat teams outside ready to seize all your assets.
OK, one network at least here allows tethering if you're on the highest plan and pay a little extra, but they would be shocked if anyone went over 3gb.

Maybe I am behind the times by now.

Lastly, I am still on 3g, which is quicker since I got my N3; but I'm terrified of what data I may start to use on 4g due out shortly.
Time to buy out of my old plan.

Again - WOW!

1. Screen on for me is around 5 hours a day

3.my phone does get warm. I haven't had a phone failure in some time but either way, I have warranty to cover any manufacturer defects. Since I have extended warranty and insurance, Verizon will send me a replacement phone next day when I need it.

?10 a month seems like a good price though, I am paying more than that. Data charge on my line alone is $30, not including voice charge, which is approximately $18 for my share of the family plan, though my plan is grandfathered. But on the plus side, in the usa, we have the option to get subsidized phones. I picked up the note 3 for free after visa card a few months ago.

Seems we have some catching up to do with the US.

I will have to drop in to the guys at my local Carphone Warehouse store here in London and ask what the upper data limits are these days on 4G and what they cost. I may print this thread out and watch them fall to the floor.

That's a bifdifference with us and uk. USA, any smartphone phone I get, I pay the same price per month regardless. In UK, price per month can vary by phone, and cost of phone also varies by plan.

You guys are so lucky. There's no such thing as unlimited, or even decent data plans here in Australia. I have a high end plan with Telstra which gives me 1.5GB per month, and god help you with the charges per MB if you exceed that. It does restrict my activity and basically makes any real attempt at cloud usage a moot point.

Dang! Sorry to hear that.

So carriers are even stingier down under.
I guess its the vastness of your country, lack of populated areas and the supply of all the infrastructure for full coverage.

These Americans don't know they're born, as we say!

Just recieved my warning from Vz that I'm close to going over my limit (8GB) with a few days left in the cycle. Nice of them. I came to them from Sprint (unlimited data, but poor coverage and speed in my area) and only once came close to using this much data. I wonder how verizon is counting bits...

Still envious of most all of you. Sigh.

 

[STARGATE]

Verizon sucks! Unfortunately they have more coverage then anyone else...

Only 1.43 gb in 19 days. I'm on Wi-Fi almost every where I go. Work and local restaurants.

How do you post screenshots here from your device?

I found that harder than expected.
I didn't want to reveal my ignorance too soon on the forum, but have done it elsewhere by now .

My solution was to have Tapatalk downloaded and signed in via Google or other (never heard of it, just noticed people use it).

I couldn't save screenshot to Gallery early on, I think Google + Pictures took it, any way find it, or save it to Google Drive by sharing it as I had to do, start a reply in Tapatalk / Pro etc.

Power + Home button or other ways for screenshot, but you will know.

Do T-Mobile love you?

Awesome.

You must be looking forward to the end of the month when you can get to the bathroom.

LOL.

That must put you top.

Don't let us down in the next 2 weeks.
Please post then.

(Could you live on 1.5 gb if you had to? There's a question)
